Abstract

Since the enactment the America Invents Act (AIA), Inter Partes Review (IPR) and Post-Grant Review (PGR) proceedings have become the preferred legal routes in challenging patent validity and enforceability in various industries. With the proceedings’ upheld constitutionality by the U.S. Supreme Court, it is even more critical for companies to be well versed with the nuts and bolts of IPRs and PGRs.
